Printing Directions Print your pattern on either Letter or A4 sized

paper. DO NOT select "Scale to Page" or "Shrink to Fit". You must print the pattern in 100% or "Actual Size", otherwise the pattern will be altered.

Find the page of your pattern that contains the Test Square. You can check the scale of the pattern using this 2" test square.

Cut the right edge and lower edge along the continuous line, so that the arrowheads are aligned with the edge, and join the pieces with tape, matching arrow. It's easiest if you don’t cut the left and upper edges. This way one side has a margin of support.

Using the tile diagram, match together all markings and join the pages with tape.

When the graph is complete, cut or trace the pieces following the cutting line.

Now the pattern is ready to be place on fabric for the cut.
